Hello fellow Xtrato Design Members.

And so it has come to address the community that has kept many of us together trough approximately 3 years.

Xtrato Designs arose on the downfall of the most talented Nuke Designer at the time, MtechNik, as many of you know , at that time there were a few Designers arising, such as Kenetix and a few others.

Our Community ever since started to grow and grow , new members came, and stayed with us, with the most noticeable ones LOGSPLIT , Canes , and many many others, Cox came along soon after.

Xtrato Designs today is a powerhouse for a lot of people, Including Myself , it is a powerful community, on which now requires Dedicated people and Designers.

The End Of 1, Marks The Beginning of Many More.

The Proposition.

I Seek A community for One and For All , a place for many , the place to be. The new Xtrato Designs , will be an open Opportunity for all , The Reputation the community launches out is a reputation of years that has been slowly coming here.

So what will the new Site , do or Be?
- It will be a place for designers to display and actually Work. Work together and display , compete and of course sell. The work you will do can be released under our copy right, and so, being more of us , there is more power, many of you know, the power of one, is surpassed greatly by the power of union. Together we can achieve much more, we can push ourselves, we can bring new people, designers, ideas , projects, revenue, we can idealize a big place for all, I need people who are interested in taking advantage of this Idea and Opportunity . the new shop will be enhanced so designers have their own administrative side, being able to post their own work there , Xtrato Has Everything in place for those who want An Open Opportunity. we have the site,Traffic, Reputation, Software, Support System , Community, basically everything. We only need YOU to plug in.

So You know how to code, but not design, there are people who have vice verse situations. so Unite to fill in the gaps. Work Together, and expose yourself.

As we grow we can take care of many improvements. The Advertisement, Alone , I can Invest in power adds. 100$ a month, together we can quadruple, or maybe input a True Advertising Campaign, thus bringing us Clients, Customers, Custom Getter's, And you will be here, the beneficent of such things. if lets say 10 Designers Open 10 Sites, Each of course, advertises with a 80$ investment,he will only acquire a certain amount of people.

A good example is when you are in search of a computer, will you go to the corner Electronic store on which they have 2-3 models, or maybe BestBuy, Circuit City where they have a big place for all the companies , a huge variety of models. They put everything in place for people like us to go and sort out our needs.

The more people, the more Styles ,and more likely someone to get hooked here rather than leaving.

The Unification of Designers will bring a powerful Site.

However, as many of you have noticed My time has been depleted dramatically, it is due to many life complication and Boundaries i must overcome first.

So This is one of Few ideas I have In plan. I will not be as active, but if we work together we will make this a truly Great Experience , I will Be A good Teacher for those who seek Knowledge, The New Team will learn from me, I will Teach them what i have to teach , coding, designing, tips, tricks, its a new place for all, a new place for you.

Its a Simple Proposition. Join Together. Expose Together.Grow Together.

I Hope if have many people and Of course Designers who are Willing To step Forward.

With that In Place.


Only Serious Post , Ideas, and propositions Will be accepted Here.

I would like to wish everyone A Happy New Years, and May all your wishes come true.

Until Then Xtrato Here.

Well i for one think it's a great idea to expand this community to one that hasn't been seen before. I am in for sure and I am proud to be a member of this community and also would like to thank Xtrato for all his help, time and many of late night hours of work.

Ever since Xtrato started, well rather ever since I joined awhile back in version 1 (even though I have had large monthly absences) I have concluded that this community has always been welcome to anyone. Even though I left for months at times I came back knowing you would all welcome me and respect me. That reputation that you have gained is just a stunning one for people to see. With the growth of the community with your ideas Xtrato, well what WE (everyone here at xtrato.com) could be is not even imaginable. Seriously, we will be unstoppable. Old teaching the new, passing and compilation of styles is what makes something unique and with your idea, we will again make reign above the Nuke & Design community about being the MOST UNIQUE.

Im with Pixtle_Perfect. When I first came here, Xtrato was still running on PHP-Nuke with the Zonar theme. I asked a question about if someone could make me a header for XD-Redzone (Thanks LOGSPLITTER :P). But I thought: Wow, this is the greatest site I've ever seen and since then I was hooked to this community, checked every post that was made here, checked every five seconds if there was made a new post, and so on. I am sad to see that this community is going downwards, there's much less activity then there was here and thats why i really like Xtrato's idea's. I think that would help the community alot and bring new people to the site.
Thanks Xtrato!

xtrato thats a great idea. i am behind it all the way. you have taught me many things, and i am greatful for it. i used to design plain old signatures, then i saw xtrato.com - it changed my designing ways for ever lol. i started to design websites, gradualy i improved. with people like xtrato and cox helping me when they were on msn, was great. i had done many nice designs (imo )
so i think that this idea will be great. and i will be behind it all the way!

The php/themes bug first bit me whence visiting the Xtrato tutorials section a couple of months ago. My skills though, are still scant and I have a request on behalf of all enthusiastic beginners. Could we have an Apprentice php/themer section for the absolute beginner? Which software do I use, PHP hardening; yes/no?; Maybe a series of tasks for us perform and display our own examples before moving to the next. I know much of the above is allready in this forum but a definitive as possible, ' logical path' would be very helpfull. I like the charter folks and look forward to giving something back to this community.

Best wishes for 2007

I think this will be the new beginning, a restart. I would be honored to help anyone that is in need of help, It would be a honor xtrato to help you for all the times you helped me.

Well this should be quite interesting to see.While ambitions and ideas look sound,however based on your prior custumer surpport track record wouldn't you and others feel that it should become your number one priority?

Maybe we need to take a stroll back through the site and re-visit may of the paying fustrated and unhappy custumers along with protental custumers that have to pretty much fight for there request and already promised material in a un-organized timely fasion.

Now i don't want to rain on the party here for with all due respect...the designs and designers along with the coders indeed transpire to outstanding work a cut above the rest,but the support lacks in every aspect!Nothing worst than a paying custumer that can't get the results in a timeframe outlined by the deadlines set by oneself!So now you want to become a somewhat of a middleman and capitalize off the rest of the starving designers and coders?
